Finally, the spring season for The Miracle League Program has started, and I could not be any happier!
Yesterday I attended my first game of the season, and I was assigned to be Sweet Kendall's buddy. For those that are unfamiliar with The Miracle League Program, a buddy is simply someone who inspires and encourages the child/young adult with special needs throughout the entire time of this miraculous baseball game. Kendall was more than a pistol ball, and no matter how difficult the task seemed she still gave one hundred percent. Whether she was having trouble with hitting or catching the ball, she never let her contagious smile leave her face. It truly is amazing to see the positivity that a child with special needs can carry.
That's one of the greatest things about this program- to be able to witness something that may be truly impossible become possible.
All my love,
